Today, I was proud to join my colleague @HerreraBeutler in securing $2 million in funding for @CDCgov efforts to prevent maternal deaths through state-based Maternal Mortality Review Committees.http://bit.ly/2uiF64m
More American women are dying of pregnancy-related complications than any other country in the developed world, with an approx 700-900 annual deaths & thousands of women experiencing near fatal complications after childbirth. Only in the US is the rate of death actually rising.
We must treat this often surprising & entirely heartbreaking statistic as a call to action. Potentially lifesaving research—made possible by new $$ in this bill—can help identify the root causes & trends of maternal death to protect more women & families in the years to come.
